Kanaria was standing in the living room with her eyes completely shut. She remembered the lesson about the Star Method, especially everything related to the Brain attribute.
"The Brain attribute’s strength lies in the hyper senses one can have. Once you reach Tier 3, you will definitely be able to sense everything around you as if you’re watching things from the third person’s point of view.
"This is called Sensory Imaginary. Basically, you’re looking at things with all your other senses instead of your eyes.
"In order to do that, you will have to familiarize yourself with every single item you can find.
"Try to grab an item and close your eyes. Use your senses to perceive this thing. How does the touch feel for you? What is the shape? What is its toughness?"
Kanaria grabbed a cup, which she rubbed from one place to another until she could get a clear picture of the cup’s shape.
"After that, try to feel the air around you. Once your senses are sharpened, you will be able to feel pain or even the slightest touch on your skin. A Tier 1 human should be able to sense it as long as they are focused enough."
Kanaria followed the instruction and was completely immersed in the sensation.
Although the air was pretty much still in this place, she noticed that there was some sort of movement in the air. It was the same when she was moving her hands. It felt like she was playing with water.
"Once you have reached this step, you can finally use the movement of that wind to feel the shape of an object."
Kanaria furrowed her eyebrows. She noticed that because the air movement was disrupted by the object, she could actually picture the kind of object that disrupted the air flow. However, the image wasn’t vivid yet since this was her first time.
However, she finally understood the essence of Sensory Imaginary. They were using the air to sense the objects around them. Once the senses sharpened even further, they would get a better image in their minds. But the moment she got the hang of it, this kind of power would definitely change everything for her.
What if she could actually see the entire building and all the living beings hiding in it with just her senses? No one could actually escape her. If she changed her weapons or bullets, she might be able to shoot through the walls and kill the enemies before they could do anything to her.
Kanaria muttered in a low voice, "Imagine the movement of the air to determine the shape of the object. Use the smell carried by the air to figure out their materials… And use the sounds to check their movements.
"Once I get a good grasp of the movement around me, a new world will be opened." Kanaria gradually opened her eyes. She looked at the cup in front of her. There were a total of five items that she had picked for this training.
After cleaning up Clovis’s house, Clovis told her it would be fine to use any rooms she wanted to test his father’s Star Method.
And the practice method was a bit abstract like tossing the ball to get used to the movement, sound, and air flow. Hitting a few objects or even carrying them around.
It seemed that the Star Method was focusing on getting the user to grow accustomed to this power. While it would be hard since their senses couldn’t be compared to a Tier 3 or even a Tier 4, it would definitely improve their senses gradually. Once it became stronger, their omniscient view would just become even bigger.
Kanaria crossed her arms. "This method might not look like much, but there are a lot of times to get used to it. And the practice method is a bit too random so I’m not sure if it’ll be effective. Then again, what is Clovis’s father’s Tier again? Tier 7 or is it Tier 8? Such a person shouldn’t lie about this method.
If I can’t do it, I’m probably the one who is not talented enough."
Kanaria decided to close her eyes again and completely immerse herself in this new training method.
…
In the backyard, Jay was swinging his blade a few times. He, too, was focused on the Star Method.
"Muscle is basically the simplest of all attributes. At the same time, if you don’t master it as soon as possible, you will definitely be the one to suffer.
"Once you reach a Tier 1 human, you will be exposed to a certain energy. No, it could be said that Tier 1 is the threshold for humans to adapt to this energy.
"How could the beast become so strong? How could a dragon release a flame breath? The answer is pretty simple. It’s because they have developed this energy. All Tier 1 humans should have absorbed the energy from the essence and assimilated it.
"Of course. This energy is just a metaphor. It’s easier to understand if we use this energy example.
"The essence carries something that transforms a human, making their body even more accessible.
"Strengthening the muscle or even hardening it will definitely increase your power. You will know this as Augmentation.
"By reinforcing your muscle to the highest degree and releasing all that ’energy’ in your muscle. You will be able to release an unprecedented amount of power into your surroundings.

"If I wanted, I could actually destroy a building just by grabbing it. Of course, if you can’t control your strength, the only thing you will destroy is the pillar you hold, not the entire building.
"That’s why, to become strong, you need to control your strength."
Jay could understand why Gerald used ’energy’ as the metaphor. It definitely made him understand it a bit easier.
Jay had heard about all kinds of news on Skynet. The reason he was so fixated on his saber was because of certain news.
He was only a kid at that time, but there was a piece of news stating, ’In this world, there is nothing I can cut.’
It was news regarding a Tier 8 explorer who cut down a building from a distance.
According to the news, the guy swung his blade so powerfully that it affected the air, which turned into a ranged sword strike that cut the building in two.
Jay couldn’t help but admire that person and started picking up his saber. The saber was much more specialized in slashing than the sword, so he thought that he would reach the peak of a slash with this weapon.
It was his dream to cut not only the building, but an entire mountain in half.
Jay took a deep breath, recalling the lesson.
"To control your strength, you need a precise feel of your muscle. Stretch your arm and clutch your hands."
Jay followed that instruction carefully.
"Then, try to hold something but with the same grip strength."
Jay grabbed his sword, which wasn’t hard to do. However, the difficulty spiked after this point.
"Use all your strength to crush the object you’re holding."
Jay still did it, fully knowing that it was impossible to destroy it. But after that, Gerald said, "Use the same strength to crush an egg. Apply the same amount of force without breaking the egg. You have to spread the force evenly and distribute it to the surrounding area instead of the egg so that it won’t be destroyed.
"A lot of people can’t master this technique because they can’t control their muscles perfectly, causing them to lose more than half of their strength potential.
"Once you are able to not crush the egg, you can use other objects from soft to hard before moving to the entire body."
Jay let out a long sigh. It was hard to demonstrate because even if Gerald held an egg with the same amount of strength in the video, it wouldn’t look that way.
That was why Jay was a bit stuck on this matter.
"First of all, imagine yourself applying the same force but not destroying the object in your hand. There is a reason why this power is called Imaginary. Everything begins with your imagination. If you can’t picture yourself doing it, then you won’t be able to."
Jay finally understood why Clovis’s grandfather asked Clovis to imagine everything, including the fight. It was to train his imagination so that when he reached Tier 1, he could bring out his talent to the fullest.
"I will cut everything in this world. I don’t want to be like my father who stops after reaching Tier 6. I will be going straight to Tier 7, Tier 8, or even Tier 9 until there is nothing I can’t cut!"
Jay raised his blade and held it with both hands, trying to crush the handle. There were a few objects around him like leaves and eggs he bought from the nearest convenience store.
If his father only reached Tier 6 because he mastered this kind of power too late, then he would start now and become much stronger than him when he became a Tier 6 human.
He had to thank Clovis and his father for providing this opportunity. And he would show the world that even if no one dared to stand with Clovis in the future, he would definitely be there as his best friend. And he would cut everything, including Clovis’s enemies.
"Just you wait, Clovis. While I am thankful for this opportunity, I will still get stronger than you." Jay smirked as he applied more force to his grip.
